Toddler in hospital after snake bite

A two-year-old boy is in a stable condition after being bitten by a snake at Langwarrin, south-east of Melbourne, this afternoon.

The boy's mother took him to a medical centre after noticing puncture wounds when she was changing his nappy.

They were met by ambulance paramedics there, and the toddler was transferred to Frankston Hospital.

Paramedic Kevin Cooper says it is not known what sort of snake bit the boy.

"It wasn't witnessed, mum was close by and found the child a little bit distressed, thought it was time for a nappy change and when taking off his pants noticed two puncture wounds on the left knee of the pants and was quite vigilant in picking that up," he said.

You have no doubt been hearing a lot about the Paris Agreement and know that it pertains to climate change, but are too embarrassed at this stage to ask for an overall explanation of what it's all about.
